REPORT CORRUPTION

Reporting Corruption

Did you ever want to be the Edward R. Murrow of your day? Here’s your chance. Write up an article, tip or mini-post about it and submit it here to SOMO, after reading the ABOUT page. Try these things, first, before you go all Snowden on something (Russia is damn cold!).

Other ways you can report:

Make your own free website about it on one of the hundreds of free website services like Facebook, Myspace, Weebly, Wix.com, etc. Web search: “free websites”.

Make your own blog about it on one of the many free blogging sites. Web search: “free blog hosting services”.

Send out press releases about it.

Organize an event about it with Meetup.com

Write a story about it and post it on Craigslist.

Write an open letter to Congress about it and publish it everywhere. Have at least 4 smart friends help you spell-check, grammer-check and crazy-check it before you send it.

Call a reporter that has written about a similar thing, in the past, and convince them to do a story.

Sue the bad guys. It might sound crazy at first but, remember, crime is mostly illegal and the law will support you if you help the law out. Many law firms will cover all of your expenses on a “Contingency basis”, you will get free publicity for the cause and you might win some money for your community.

Find articles about that topic online and write your comments, disclosures or position about the topic in the comment section of every relevant news story about that topic that you can find. Don’t stop with the first one, you won’t make a dent until you have done at least 20 in well known publications.

Report it to at least 10 (To make sure nobody buries it) different ones of these “official” entities with a carbon copy to at least 9 others listed at the bottom of your cover letter so they know there is plenty of oversight support:
